Need bag for DA and pads

[Hokie335i]

Hey guys, I need a new bag for my Griot's DA and pads. I have basically this bag below

Autogeek Detailer's Bag, detailing bag, detailing supplies bag, storage bag, tool box, buffer bag, car care organizer, buffing pads organizer (http://www.autogeek.net/autogeek-detailer-s-tool-bag.html)

but it barely holds my pads and DA and polishes. What are you guys using that can hold the DA, polishes and 12-16 pads?

I was looking at this but not wild about spending $60 on one that's barely bigger. Autogeek Professional Detailing Bag (http://www.autogeek.net/professional-detail-bag.html)

What are you guys using?

My other gear is this for all of my other products Kobalt Tool Bag

and then just a plastic bin with top for my microfibers

I repurposed an older DEWALT DCK019 tool bag that I never used, and it works just fine. They're around $21 online. (It looks very similar in construction to the Dodo Juice bag sold here on AGO) The only negative, is that the top isn't flat when closed, so some space is lost when zipped closed.

I'd prefer a bag with all flat sides, but this will work for now.

I'm particularly preferential to the Flex bag (especially the one with a polisher inside) :)

Just my $.02 but I don't like any bag for stowing/carrying any tool. I use plastic bins for every thing I own detailing wise and tool wise. I have this for detailing and different versions of it for other tools.

They can get hit and banged around and protect the contents waaay better than a bag. Never had to carry my tools more than 20ft to get to a car and tools never further than up a driveway to do work. Obviously, don't overload the bin so you can't carry it. Plus you can spray paint or label the bins easier than a bag. Hard to beat the price and the bins stack easily for storage. Good luck!

At Wally World I go to the tool section and get a big tool box with drawers. Works great and under $20 There are alot to choose from

Thanks guys. My main reason for not getting big totes is that I like the organization and ability to group similar products together and they'll stay there when the totes get thrown around. Also, I don't think I could get more than one tote in the back of my 335i coupe...

I got the griot's garage bag, it's the same as the one at the OP bur the handel have a bent on it so it allow more stuff to go into it. I don't have that many pads but you should check it out

[Hokie335i]

Yeah that's what I have now is the griots bag with the bent handle. May go to lowes and look around for another tool bag

Do a search for electricians bag or electricians tote bag. You might find something slightly bigger than the AGO one (which is a similar design).

I have three of the AG bags, they are great, purpose built and compact for what they carry, :dblthumb2:

Bins...not Bags

- Stackable
- Durable
- Waterproof
- Affordable
- Clear, can see contents
- Easy to clean

My FLEX bag blew out a seam in less than a year of light use.
Looks cool though

I do keep my interior products in a Griot's bag. I like the outer mesh pockets, storage underneath and the handle protrudes when the top flap is closed

[Hokie335i]

Thanks for the replies guys. I use bins now for my various brushes, MF's and other random things like a small handheld vac for quick jobs. I am big on organization though which is why I'm shying away from bins for all my products.

I like the idea of an electrician's bag though, I may swing by Lowe's tomorrow and check them out. They seem pretty cheap too

post back if you find something!

[Hokie335i]

Will do!

This is my favorite to use. I can fit the tool, chemicals, and pads in the bottom, and microfiber, applicators, and tools in the top. I also have a Griots bag, and for my small kit, and Tough Built bag.

Here is the Stanley box.

Ended up with this bag from lowes. $20. I'm using it for my pads and polishes since it zips shut and keeps the pads clean!
